I had the pleasure of shooting John and Jingna’s beautiful wedding. I never photographed a groom decked out in military attire, so it made this wedding all the more special. Jingna made a gorgeous bride and I am so happy for the beautiful couple. I am gracious that they entrusted Erik Teng Photography as their wedding photographer.

The CA Model Competition Finale took place at TERMINAL 5 on August 23rd. Ten girls came to the final leg of their journey, where only 1 was crowned the overall winner of the competition. The competition featured fashion by ANGG NY, Bread n Butter, Swimwear by Carmen Marc Valvo, Swimwear Anywhere, Sue Wong and Felice and performances by Ariana & the Rose, Kristian Nacional, Alek Sandar, Brenda Hu and Vivian Liu. Surprisingly, although 1 was crowned the victor, all of the finalists received model contracts with CA Models.

The 2014 New York City Chinese Beauty Pageant is getting closer to crowning its queen. Last night marked one of the last events before the finals. The talent show took place in the heart of Flushing and all 14 contestants showcased their talent in front of a packed house. Of the 14, only 5 will advance to the final round to perform at Mohegan Sun on August,17. Although only 5 get to perform in the finals, all of them are already winners in my book. You will have to stay tuned to find out the latest!

Our last and final day brought us to the Catskills. We were greeted by Jim Thompson of the Delaware County Tourism Bureau. The girls and I were treated to a lunch at the Hancock House. Jim gave us some insight into Delaware County and all of its offerings. During the winter, I plan on coming back to take advantage of the Catskills offerings. We would have taken advantage of the summer water activities but because of weather, our day was cut short. It was OK though, as after 10 days on the road, a break was welcomed by all.

Before we headed back to NYC, we stopped over at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum. Jim Krul and Erin Phelan gave the girls a tour of the museum and some much needed instruction on the art of fly fishing. I am sorry we didn't get a chance to actually fly fish, but again, when the weather permits, I will definitely make the trip up here again.
